****Mia's POV****

"Noah?" I said as calmly smiled as I seen Noah and Alexa walk in.
I was sort of surprised to see Noah here with her.

"How are you Mia?" He smiles.

"Well I would be even better if my uncle Jack woulda let me slide these tubes of oxygen off my face once Alex left the room, they're so uncomfortable especially with this nose cast on still." I sorta laughed

"My niece thinks she's able to get by with stuff since Her uncle is an ER doctor but she sorta tends to forget that I play by the rules whether I'm on the clock or not." My uncle Jack laughed.

He jumped up from his seat and shook Noah's hand, "I'm her uncle Jack, you must be Noah?"

"Yes." Noah smiled as he shook my uncle Jack's hand back.

"I can let you 3 alone to talk, if you like." My uncle Jack says.

"What do you think Mia?" He looks at me.

"Yeah that's fine." I smile

My uncle Jack looks at Noah and Alexa and says "if you guys leave here please make sure her dad or I are here, she's not allowed to be here alone"

"Jack..please." I said trying not to be embarrassed.

"Hunny it's just for your safety." He smiled at me

He headed towards the door and walked out and left Alexa, Noah, and I.

Noah sat down In the chair next to me

"Noah.." I started to say

"Mia, can I please say something first?" He asks politely

"Yes" I said nervous

"I'm so sorry for all the stuff Nicole and her friends put you through, that note that you received wasn't me at all, it was her and her friends. You know when I read your letter and you mentioned you feeling something different..I felt that because your first day here I felt something different about you too."

He looked down at my arms and I tried to hurry and slide them under my blankets

"Mia.." He said grabbing my left hand and holding it.

"You don't have to hide anything from me." He smiled.

I pulled my arms back up took a deep breath and said "Noah, I was distant with you in cheer because of  that letter and then  I relapsed and cut my sides in the bathroom, that's why I flinched so much when someone would put their hands on my sides in cheer to lift me. I was in agony physically but just needed peace mentally and then Nicole jumped me in the locker room. That night she also sent me a nasty email on click-stars and she pretty much ended with me just needing to kill myself, yesterday I come in with a note on my locker making me look skinnier than normal holding a gun to my head to just end my life. I decided at that moment my life wasn't living no more."

Noah had tears running down his face.

"When we went to Mr. Porter I wanted to say what was going on so bad, so wanted to say I'm in pain and need help. I cut myself on my Arms Thursday night and But I couldn't say anything because I knew I had to die. When she dropped the last note on our table when she walked by. I couldn't do it anymore. When I was slowly drifting off in the tub, I just wished you was there to hold me but I was dying and that's all I knew."

Noah let go of my hand and wiped his tears with his hands.

"I don't even know what to say." He says sniffling

"You should tell her what you told me." Alexa spoke up and smiled.

I looked at Noah and he looked at me,

"I'll tell you this...when I seen you on your first day of school here, I knew there was something different about you as well. My heart hurts because I had to break up with Nicole, but I knew I had too. I want you to focus on your treatment for as long as you are in there. I'll be here for you every step of the way that I can. The rest (he looks at Alexa) I think can wait until you are out and home." He smiled.

"That's fair." I smiled.

He stood up and leaned in and hugged me and I returned the favor. I just love him so much, and I'm so glad that we are ok now.

We let go of one another and then the next thing I know I felt like my chest was caving in, I sat up more grabbing my chest and began coughing.

"Mia what's wrong?" Noah asked panicking

"I...can't...breathe." I got out trying to grasp for air.

I couldn't quit coughing and I could hear my heart monitor going crazy.

"I'm going to get her dad now!"
I heard Alexa yell.

"Mia please stay with us!"
Noah grabbed my hand and held it.

I got the faint picture of my dad, Jack,
And Alex running in with 2 more nurses...

"Noah please step back." Alex come rushing in

"I can't breathe Alex."
The coughing was getting worse.

Alex slid the tubes of oxygen off of me and threw on a full mask to my face for me to be able to breathe.

I could hear my dad, Alexa, Jack and Noah panicking...

"Nurse Shelly can you please escort them out."  I heard Alex instruct. 

The last thing I remember is Alex yelling "her heart rate is dropping!!"

Everything went black.
